New station for Chelmsford moves big step forward after funding plan is agreed A long awaited station to the east of Chelmsford has moved a significant step forward – a welcome turnaround since January when there were fears that the project could be scrapped over budget concerns. At a meeting of the cabinet on Tuesday, it was agreed that Essex County Council (ECC) can now enter into an official agreement with Homes England to secure the release of just under £218 million from the national Housing Infrastructure Fund (HIF) – unlocking two major HIF projects in north Essex. In total 14,109 new homes will be supported by the long-awaited railway station for Beaulieu and the Chelmsford North East Bypass.

Deer in Epping Forest could be culled over the next five years to bring the numbers down to 150. The City of London Corporation is looking at bringing the numbers of deer down from an estimated 600 to 800 to a “more sustainable level” in the 8,000-acre wood which runs from Forest Gate to Epping. It said too many deer can have an impact on the habitat of other wildlife and can also lead to over grazing. Deer can also damage farm crops. The Corporation commissioned a deer review in 2017 after an outcry when it gave the contract to cull deer to the private hunting club Capreolus Club in 2016.
